You know you have an S13 when you can tell what gear your auto box is in because of the pattern of clonks the hydraulic actuators just made

They don't have turbo's on those USA S13s do they.
Been there so often.
People who can only come to terms with my demand for a maneuverable car with sub 10m turning circle (don't dare tell them it's so I can go to silly yaw angles on opp lock), space for a push bike in the back (without taking the wheels off) and sleek styling, (measured by CdA of 0.55m^2) by suggesting I buy 3 cars to do everything one S13 does. A London TAXI (like that's gonna need lock for yaw angle), a Subaru wagon and a RX-7. Short of buying a 3 car transporter and getting a HGV license, they have no answer as to how I would be able to get all three 120 miles down the M-way for a weekend away. Roof racks have been mentioned when I ask how I would be able go to Homebase in the RX-7 and get two 6ft glass shower doors and dicky seats to fit the niece and her friends in.
You know you have a S13 when you never have to drive home to change car.
You know you've "Had" an S13 when you driving an S14 and are bored shitless...
you know you've got an S13 when you buy 280mm brembos only to find your facelift has pre facelift running gear...
You know you have an S13 when you get as much attention (and more) than people driving fancy cars costing 20 times as much
You know you have an S13 when you suddenly find yourself helping changing engines in the middle of the night
You know you have an S13 when you you use your boot release (Becasue you want to leave car running to cool down etc) only to find it locked again when you go to open it.

You know you have an S13 when you have inside info on whos going to win the "Underseal" World champs
you know you have an S13 silvia when everybody, their dogs, and police comment on how nice your prelude is, even when ticketing you !
You know you have an s13 when somebody asks "has it got a back seat" and you reply.....used to

You know you have an s13 when you contemplate a twin engine set up....
...Not for more power but as a back up when the first one blows!
... when its 2 weeks from the first trackday of the year and you just know it will be fun
when everybody know's you either at the petrol garage or at the garage getting it fixed
you know you have an s13 when you dread rain cos your wipers squeak like bitch and you always forget about them once the rain stops so they never get oiled
You know you have an s13 when you get asked to goto a meet and you think....hmmm more than 15 miles....Will it make it?
You know you have an S13 when you rebuild it, it rattles. You take off the sump, crank out, measure it, add new perfect-fitting bearings, start her up again & she rattles. You then decide to drive her until she breaks!!
...Eventually you come around to the idea an engine-swop might have been a better & cheaper option.
